YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 13, NOYAN TAPAN. Mrs Andrea Viktorin, the German
Ambassador to Armenia and Vernel Viol, the Director of the Goethe
Institute (residence in Tbilisi), gave the first batch of the German
textbooks and German prose and poetic literature to Sevan school
N1. The goal of this program, which is implemented on the initiative
of the Embassy of Germany in Armenia and the Goethe Institute, is to
assist the schools teaching German.
As the German Ambassador to Armenia Mrs. Andrea Viktorin informed
the journalists, this program of assisting the Armenian schools
will be permanent and the collected books soon will be given to the
selected schools of Yerevan as well as of regions. The educational
institutions will receive not only textbooks and basic literature
for their libraries but also prose and poetic literature.
The Goethe Institute assists the teaching and spreading of German in
the countries of the region. For that purpose it opened a position
of a German expert in Yerevan: the latter here will be engaged in
the problems of teaching German in the schools.
Besides the educational programs, the Goethe Institute also implements
cultural programs including in the spheres of cinematographic art,
fine arts, music art.
